ABSTRACT There is evidence that mentors make a difference in the lives of talented / gifted students, the reason for the investigation of the theme and their national and international scientific production from 2000 to 2018. Among the databases investigated are Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Capes Theses / Dissertations, Academic Search Premier, Capes Journal Portal and Sage Journals. We found 59 studies, 24 nationals and 35 internationals. Qualitative studies stood out with emphasis on the exploratory approach. In the sample, teachers of elementary, middle and higher education stood out. Among the objectives, the researchers’ interest in the process of teacher education through mentoring was highlighted. Mentoring strategies were also found to be effective for talented students, improving understanding of concepts such as mathematicians, for example, as well as psychosocial and career benefits. As for the instruments, international studies make use of the most specific and the widest variety of them. The theme is innovative, which justifies its investigation.

摘要：现有研究表明，导师对资优/超常学生（talented / gifted students）的成长发挥着重要作用，本研究围绕该主题展开调研，并梳理了2000年至2018年间国内外相关科研成果。本次调研覆盖的数据库包括：科学电子图书馆在线（Scientific Electronic Library Online，Scielo）、CAPES学位论文库（Capes Theses / Dissertations）、Academic Search Premier、CAPES期刊门户（Capes Journal Portal）以及Sage Journals。本次共检索到59项相关研究，其中国内研究24项，国际研究35项。定性研究占据主导地位，其中探索性研究尤为突出。研究样本涵盖中小学及高等教育阶段的教师。在研究目标方面，研究者对借助导师制（mentoring）开展教师教育的流程表现出较高关注。此外，研究证实导师制对资优学生具有积极作用，例如可帮助其深化对数学概念的理解，同时能为其带来社会心理层面与职业发展层面的多重益处。在调研工具方面，国际研究采用了更为具体且种类更丰富的工具。该主题具备创新性，这也是开展本次研究的合理依据。
